How do I get sound out of the programs? do I need ot install something special?

I have the new Upgraded Version of Ubuntu 10. I have downloaded the programs that I thought would be right and I still can't get any sound! What am I doing wrong? Can someone Please Help Me. You time is valuable to me and I thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Robin

It would help us to know what sound card or sound chip you have in your system, so, if you know the specification of your PC let us know.

Here are a few tips to getting good replies
to your posts. A lack of
detail will not get answers, it will get questions, so put as much
detail as you can in the first post, this will speed up the process
of

diagnosis. Put your system specifications in the post, this is
important for hardware related issues, but also to a lesser degree,
software issues. Put the
full errors messages not just part of it. What's your understanding
of
PC's? Novice, I know a bit, expert? things like this help us to
target
issues more accurately. When editing the Registry, always make a backup of either the key being edited or a full backup prior to editing.

And, at the risk of sounding trite, do you have external or built-in speakers? If they are external, and are powered, is that on? Are the speakers on? Have you tried the volume knob? Do you need to add external speakers (a lot of PCs have sound capabilities, but need speakers to actually play.
